This is long, so table of contents: The Origin of LitRPG As everyone knows by now, I’m a massive Solo Leveling fan. I’ve read the manhwa before the anime was ever announced and then reread it several times. Right now, with the anime release on Crunchyroll (we are up to 2 seasons), it is enjoying

The Iron and Magic Trivia Quiz
After a weekend of excitement and prayers for p*tience to last us until the release of This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me, it’s time to return to our Iron Dogs. Since House Andrews gifted us with chapters from the first draft of Hugh 2, I thought we should test our memory of where it all

Best of the Best poll – Sidekick Stars edition
We’re all sick of the villains, morally gray characters and the bad things we have to hear about constantly. It’s time to switch things around and celebrate the best of the best supporting characters — they may not be the main protagonists, but they absolutely make every scene better just by existing. They’re the ride-or-dies,

Busy, busy
House Andrews are deep in the editing cave for Maggie. How deep? They shared an update yesterday on Facebook: A lot of work, but of course what we take from it is a very chalant OMG OMG OVER EIGHT HUNDRED PAGEEEEES! WE SHALL DEVOUR! No? Just me? Hehe. But that takes a lot of effort.

The Coziest Keyboard Ever
I built the coziest keyboard ever. You might remember that earlier I was looking for a better keyboard. Whenever I searched for a keyboard, I always ended up with the gaming keyboards. HyperX. Razer. Black, lots of RGB, that type of thing. I’ve tried ergonomic keyboards, I’ve tried unorthodox keyboards, I’ve tried a lot of

A Happy Cardigan
Despite my best efforts, I finally managed to make a cardigan. I bought this really cute yarn last year. This is Rainbows and Airwaves from Bad Sheep Yarn. It is a gorgeous yarn, so I wanted to make a fun cardigan with it. I usually make stuff for the kids, but I wanted something for

Eternal Strands
If you liked roleplaying computer games in the early 2000s, you knew that Bioware was synonymous with cool games. The studio started out as a Canadian game developer and made some awesome things. Baldur’s Gate. Mass Effect. Dragon Age. Eventually they were bought by EA and went downhill. Apparently, the latest Dragon Age, Veilguard, sold

A Dirty Betrayal
Not long ago, I made this blanket for Kid 2. It was made with Stylecraft DK yarn. I don’t really care for acrylic normally. If you ever felt a skein of Red Heart, it’s rough and scratchy and it kills my hands. But Stylecraft, although it is acrylic, is buttery soft, cloud-like, and shiny, and

The Book Devouring Horde Quiz
“I heard Realtors have to disclose if the house is haunted,” Leon said.I looked at Mom in the driver’s seat. She gave me an amused smile. No help there.“Apparently only four states require you to disclose paranormal activity,” Arabella reported. “Nine states require you to notify the buyer if a death occurred on the premises.

Snow on Tuesday
We have snow! Only an inch or so, but still snow. The animals are horrified and excited. We got the semi-feral cat inside, and she is being very persistent about getting pets. If only she didn’t go to war any time she sees the other cats, we would be in business. So far the grid

Thanksgiving Menu
First things first, happy belated birthday to Mod R. Lo, it is the traditional Thanksgiving Menu post. I planned to skip it, but Mod R tactfully asked when it would be coming. Thanksgiving is a big holiday for our family, because life is short and we must celebrate whenever we can. It is also one

Popeye Turkey
Normally we don’t do posts on Saturday, but US Thanksgiving is right around the corner and this is time sensitive. Every Thanksgiving, we get a Cajun turkey from Popeyes. It is cooked and requires thawing and then warming up in the oven. The turkey is delicious and moist and saves us a lot of time
